Just one night after G-Eazy wrapped up his sold out The Beautiful & Damned Tour at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City, the multi-platinum Bay Area rapper has announced the second edition of The Endless Summer Tour with Lil Uzi Vert.
The 32-city tour includes Ty Dolla $ign, YBN Nahmir, P-Lo, and a special performance by Canadian multi-platinum producer and DJ, Murda Beatz.
The Fort Erie, Ontario-producer is featured on The Beautiful & Damned album’s “Gotdamn” (co-produced with OZ).
The second leg of the tour begins on Jul. 20 in Seattle, WA and touches down at major market amphitheaters and pavilions throughout the US until the final show on Sept. 8 in Miami, FL (full dates below). The tour will also reach Canada with a Toronto show scheduled for Aug. 22.
Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday, Mar. 23 at 10 a.m. local time. Dates, tickets and more information can be found on G-Eazy’s official website and LiveNation.
These Things Happened (Artist Spotlight Story)
Along with announcing the tour, G-Eazy also premiered his These Things Happened (Artist Spotlight Story), which we’ve included in the post.
Directed by Rob Semmer, Creative Director at the The FADER, These Things Happened takes viewers behind the scenes of G-Eazy’s amazing ascent to chart-topping rapper. The YouTube Spotlight Story mixes concert clips, backstage interviews, and documentary footage of the rapper’s hometown, including on the street corners where he used to hand out mixtapes more than a decade ago. Today, G-Eazy boasts more than 4 billion views across YouTube, with his recent hit, the RIAA Certified Triple Platinum “No Limit” reaching as high as #3 on the YouTube Music US Top 100 tracks chart.
2017 saw the release of G-Eazy’s studio album, The Beautiful & Damned, an intimate 20 track double-album and just last week he released a video for his third single “Sober” from the LP featuring Charlie Puth with the announcement that the second single from the album “Him & I” with Halsey reached #1 on Billboards Mainstream Top 40 Chart.
Murda Beatz Producing Drake Single
Meanwhile, Murda Beatz continues to beef up his already impressive portfolio, and continues to make headline-generating moves. Just yesterday, he hoped on Instagram to preview a new beat he’d been working on for Drake. While, streaming live, Drake unexpectedly (or maybe it was planned) slid into the comments section and implied the Fort Erie, Ontario-producer would be behind one of his next singles: “New single dropping soon produced by Chef Murda.”
Murda playfully encouraged Drake to get back to work and to get the collaboration in motion: “I’m waiting on this boy Drizzy. Wake the fuck up, man! Drink a coffee, drink a tea, drink some water. Text me the address and Imma pull up.”
Murda has collaborated with Drake numerous times in the past including songs on the OVO bossman’s More Life (Apple’s Top Music Album of 2017), Nicki Minaj’s “No Frauds,” and French Montana’s Drake-assisted “No Shopping.”
He also did work recently on Migos’ Culture II, Nipsey Hussle’s Victory Lap, and Bless Yo Trap (with Smokepurpp), with more on the way.
